This stage of life has been so hard for me...but, it has also been very introspective. Who am I? What do I believe? What do I really care about? What do I want out of life? What am I capable of? I never anticipated this "re-discovery" phase of life. It's strange, and confusing, and daunting, and liberating all at once. One of the results of this process for me, has been becoming a "doer" rather than a "thinker"...I'm not completely transformed, but it's taking root and I'm learning to "cease the day" more.
Ever since my knee injury spring of 2025, I have been so distraught that I couldn't hike. Now that my knee is mostly healed, I've been wanting to get outside and start back up again. I was struggling to find a hiking buddy with the same schedule and level as me, so I finally just decided I would be a "doer" and hike solo.
I set a goal for the month of September to hike at least once a week, and I did it. It was therapeutic. It was hard. It was scary. It was beautiful. It was life changing. It felt good to be proud of myself.
